Our Electric Railways.
Perhaps only a few are aware that our
town contains a larger mileage of electric
‘, Idlways "proportion to its population
, , than an other town in the state. The
combined length of the two electric roads
reaches a total of over sixteen miles, with
an equipment of thirty-nine cars. The
Norwalk Street Railway company has
Ive miles of track. thirteen passenger
ears,open and closed, one track sprink-
ling our, one track sweeper. and one. work
oar. all of which are operated by electric
motors. The entire equipment of this
road, down to the minutest details. is of
the highest class. and it undoubtedly de-
serves the name it has earned of being no,
surpassed in elegance and completeness,
The track of the Norwalk Tramway com-
pany is a little over eleven miles long.

South Norwalk in a Hole.
Flgurutively speaking. South Norwalk
will have to admit that the Conaolldntcd
load has got it in a hair at last.and judging
from its elevated appearance the railroad
is very much exalted over the situation.
Of course the present depressed and hot
tomless condition of the Washington and
Main stroetcrosslng is alluded to. The
eye of every citizen is fixed on that spot
and mental faculties are being strained
to picture. even in a vague way. what the

favorably upon the proposition without
at least further. investigation.
There is an idea involved in our form of
government that should be carefully pie.
served, and that is for the people to keep
the management of their affairs in their
own hands. In this case the district sys‘
tem is the one that gives those most di-
rectly interested control. It is a very
reasonable conclusion that parents will
have amore effective say as to how their
schools shall be conducted. than they
would have under the consolidated sys-
tem. If the districts are consolidated the
various schools and school properties will
all be under one managememcut. and be-
come subject to the theories and fancies
of a very much less direct interest than at
present.
We think, that until this matter has
been very much more fully investigated
and altogether better understood, the
schools of this town should remain under
present control.
The Elections.
Next Monday the people of our town
and cities will decide who they Will have
to manage their affairs for another year.
Many of the candidates for the various
offices have already filled them. Those
that have performed their duties faithful~
ly and proved themselves worthy are en-
titled to a re-electlon. Their experience
will make their future services all the
more valuable to the people. Those who
have not come up to the mark should be
retired to priVate life. and someone else
put in their places. Their successors
should be selected for their qualifications
for the positions which they seek.
Iu local elections a man's party alillia-
firms should not influence a voter to any
extent. it is not whether a candidate is a
Republican or Democrat. but is be fitted
for and will be best serve the town or city.
Party bigotry is not true citizenship.
Town and city affairs should be conduc-
tcd on true business principles, and it rc-
quires business men of ability to look af-
ter them. Select these. and let the party
hack and political bummer alone.

The new American has steamer St.
Paul is expected to eclipse allher three
sisters in speed and generall efficiency.
Whether she can out travel the New
York and the Paris remains to be seen,
but that she will prove faster than the
St. Louis seems probable. The action of
the St. Louis has been carefully watch-
ed by her builders since she has been on
the sea. and some few change: have been
made accordingly in the finishing oi! of
the St. Paul. which are believed to be
improvements. The relative sliced of the
St. Louis and St. Paul on the one hand
and of , the New York and Paris on the
other will be a lost of the comparative
merits of shipbuilding at home and
abroad. The New thk and the Paris
are among the host spccinicuoof British

Spain is hard put to it indeed when
she is forced to loose upon hapless Cuba
the hordes of dospcradocs and cutthroats
in'her pcnitcntiarics and prisons, giving
them their freedom on condition that
they become food for Cuban powder.
The Cuban patriots will love the mother
country none the more for this. and it
will tend to make. the struggle even
more desperate than it now is. The star
of free Cuba grows brighter every day.
